Submitted by Brett Bellefleur on Fri, 2016/03/11 - 10:14am

Long-acting reversible contraceptives (like IUDs and hormonal implants) and hormonal injections (like Depo-Provera) are disproportionately marketed and prescribed to young women, women of color, and women in the global South. Panelists will provide a brief overview of health disparities affecting women of color and queer and trans youth; contraceptive equity as it relates to sexual and reproductive health; forms of eugenics and population control; sterilization of people who are institutionalized; and barriers to access to a full range of contraceptives.
